The European champions are back in action. Barça Femeni completed their first pre-season training session on Tuesday. Pere Romeu had all the available players at his disposal, including the three new first-team signings (Tyler, Martina and Van Asten) as well as new Barça B goalkeeper Khadijah Cissé. Also taking part were reserve-team players Julia Torres, Charlotta Ohlander, Noa Jiménez, Rosalia and Liv Pennock.

The session was divided into two training groups, with the main focus on physical conditioning while also incorporating ball work.

Aitana and Aleixandri work alone

Aitana Bonmatí, meanwhile, will continue to follow an individual training plan designed by the fitness department, together with a specific physiotherapy programme, to manage the discomfort in her left ankle resulting from the injury she sustained last season.

Laia Aleixandri, for her part, continues her recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament rupture in her right knee, which she suffered last January.

Three more sessions this week     

This was the first training session of pre-season, with further morning sessions scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Saturday as the team continue to build up their fitness.
